my 5 cents! re:fake bb's, for the goldenball, the one with a hologram is the fake one, you can distinguish it with the original goldenball cause of the bluish color of the fake one...with regards to ICS, it's quite difficult to tell since the fake one's has the same packaging... to distinguish it,you need to have a comparison with the original & can tell by it's smoothness, the fake one's has small dimples & is powdery...
